When writing for the web we must also keep in mind the "graphics of the text", i.e. its graphic presentation , which influences its reading and understanding. Usually, whoever creates a site or opens a blog thinks about taking care of the graphics of the structure, of the site or blog. But that of the text also needs to be thought about. A text is enclosed within a structure and will have to adapt to this. Above all, it must be readable and understandable in the structure in which it is contained. This article talks about typographical styles of text . The typography of a web page involves the graphic presentation of the various elements that make up the page, so that the entire text is not only readable, but also effective.
Anatomy of a web page First of all, it is necessary to identify the parts that make up a web page . A text for the web should not be seen as a uniform block of words, as can happen in a paper magazine. But even in this case - if the magazine is laid out by professionals - the text will be adequately edited. “Anatomically” a web page is Special Data made up of a title – which you have already learned to write (right?) – and a certain number of paragraphs. Paragraphs are made up of a set of words, among which we can find links. Some texts also contain lists. Once these parts, these elements have been identified, precise graphic characteristics must be assigned to each of them, depending on the role they have, so that not only are the various elements recognizable on the page, but they are also readable. Page title The title of the page must be represented in a larger font size than the text of the paragraphs, both because it has significant importance within the page itself and because it is recognisable.
The choice of color must also be taken care of, to make the separation with the rest of the writing more evident. The same goes for subtitles. They will have a smaller size than the title, but larger than the text. They may also have a different color from the main title. Paragraphs and characters Paragraphs are simple text containers, which contain one or more sentences . Graphically there is little to say about paragraphs, which we will talk about in depth in the next article, dedicated to layout. Above all, keep in mind the type of font to use for your texts. It doesn't matter what you use when writing locally. But when you have to put that text back on the web, then you will have to consider its readability. Use standard fonts , such as Times New Roman or Verdana, the most common. Don't look for particular fonts that could be difficult to read, such as a Gothic font.
